â€˘ When speaking about possible temporary visas, residence and citizenship for those now here illegally, DO use the phrase, â€śearn legal status.â€ť DO NOT use the phrase, â€śpathway to citizenship.â€ť

â€˘ When talking about securing our borders, DO use the warning, â€śenforcement of our borders includes more border patrol technology and building a fenceâ€“where it makes sense.â€ť DO NOT use phrases like â€śelectric fence,â€ť â€śbuild a wall along the entire borderâ€ť or â€śsend them all back.â€ť

â€˘ When talking about immigrants, DO use the term, â€śundocumented immigrant.â€ť DO NOT use â€śillegals,â€ť â€śaliensâ€ť or â€śanchor babies.â€ť

The obvious question though is, if you have so many insensitive idiots in your political party that you have to provide training in basic humanity like, â€śHow to speak about rape without sounding like a sexist pigâ€ť and â€śHow to talk about Latinos without sounding like racist scumbags,â€ť do you think maybe the problems runs a little deeper than something like â€śsensitivity trainingâ€ť can fix? We sure think so, but we all know the TEApublicans are only pretending to care all of the sudden because they got their asses handed to them in Novemberâ€“ largely due to the fact that they have aliened just about everyone whoâ€™s not an old, rich white maleâ€“anyway.

every latino person I know, and I live in a high latino area, is a legal citizen. Most of the families have been in country as long as my family (ie before white people got here). I read this earlier on facebook. They aren't going to be able to hide their racism.

I agree, if they need a memo and video on how to not sound racist....they probablu are racist and cannot hide it

I live in northern oklahoma. In my small town alone id say about 6 out of 10 mexicans are here illegally. And around here they get the better jobs. Construction, farm work, and so forth. They get paid under the table. It really sucks because the unemployment rate here is extremely high. And yes i would know about these things. Dh owns and runs a very small construction business and they all know whats what around here. The illegals who are paid under the table are for some reason proud of it and brag about it quite often. Just because things arent a problem where you live doesnt mean it isnt other places.

Some states have hundreds of farm job openings because of the crackdown on illegal immigration but Ameridans won't do the job..

I am sorry but I have to ask, your husband runs and owns his business, so does he hire illegals and does he pay them under the table? If that is the case is he not contributing to the problem of unemployment in your area? Does he have jobs outside of your area and then does he pay wages to those he hires to help with the unemployment? Is the problem with the unemployment in your area because no one wants to do the dirty back breaking intense low paying job of working in the fields? Seems to me if there are those jobs and some one needed a job then they would be willing to do just about anything to do it? I am not trying to be snarky, I am curious about your position on this, I have heard this argument before and would really like to hear it from a person who lives in a area like that.

no he does not hire illegals. Its him, his father, and 2 of their friends. No one is illegal. No one is paid under the table. Try again. Oh and yes people are more than willing to get their hands dirty. This is oklahoma after all. We were built on hard work and dirt. The thing is they hire the illegals because even though they pay 10 and more they dont have to give benefits or cut paychecks which cost them to do.
